Title: dep and md5 files
Post by: thane on November 29, 2023, 10:47:51 AM

Question: For CorePure 14.x, are dep and md5 files stored someplace where I can download them through a browser?

Asking because the last Tiny Core update I attempted through appbrowser on an older laptop bombed (several 0k tcz, dep, and md5 files). Now getting a waitforX error when I try to boot. Xorg shows an error message about a missing library. I downloaded and manually added the tcz extensions I thought were needed to the optional file (have another computer running an older version of Tiny Core), but think I'm missing something. Due to a number of computer issues (bad/non-existent DVD drives) I can't download the iso and start from scratch.

Any help/ideas appreciated!

Hi thane
Yes, you can fetch them here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/

To fetch  alsa-config.tcz:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/alsa-config.tcz

To fetch  alsa-config.tcz.dep:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/alsa-config.tcz.dep

To fetch  alsa-config.tcz.md5.txt:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/alsa-config.tcz.md5.txt

To fetch  alsa-config.tcz.info:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/alsa-config.tcz.info

To fetch  alsa-config.tcz.list:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/alsa-config.tcz.list

By  CorePure  I presume you are referring to 64 bit.

I've had the same problem with Tiny Core. I chose to delete everything and restart the installation.
Today I would probably use the command

Code: [Select]

rsync -av --existing --size-only repo.tinycorelinux.net::tc/14.x/x86_64/tcz/*.tcz* /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/
Which should only update existing modified files, nothing else.

Although you still need to manually fix rsync.tcz & dependencies if they are affected.

Ok I found out that a dep file I'd copied from an older version of Tiny Core was out-of-date. Once I fixed it my laptop booted to the desktop. Re-updated the files through appbrowser to be sure.

Thanks to Rich and CardealRusso!
